Thanks for coming here to find out more about the amazing journey my family and
I have been on since December 2004.
To fully understand what we have been going through I need to first bring you back to my life nine years ago. Back then I was pregnant with our first child and my husband (Rob) was a workaholic putting in 60 and 70 hour weeks. I was lucky if he did not go in on Sundays. I had always been close with my Mom, but in Rob’s absence at this most wonderful time, the bond between my Mom and me reached new heights. We lived only ten minutes from each other, so we spent nearly everyday together shopping, obsessing, but mostly dreaming about the soon to be next stage in both of our lives. I was now going to be a mommy and she a grandma. I remember that three months before I was due, my Mom bought a Halloween baby costume for the following year because she just could not wait. Everyday brought a new discussion and a new dream about what the future will hold for us. The delivery was filled with complications and my Mom and Rob spent tireless hours by my bedside helping nurse me back to health. Soon I was on my feet again and learning a lot about how to care for my new son from a real pro…my Mom.
Less then three months later my Mom died suddenly and with it a piece of me. I not only lost all the things my Mom had meant to me all those years, but I also lost the grandmother for my son that I dreamt my Mom was going to be. She was only 54 when we lost her and the grief of losing her overwhelmed me. I spent the next few years desperately looking for reasons or signs from my Mom to help me understand why she had to go, but none ever came. I even remember calling the John Edwards Show every week to try and get on. Finally, I made up my mind that there would never be a sign and started to let go.
Fast forward now to December 2004 (six years later) when I had a dream where my Mom came to me with a message about love, happiness and connecting to the things that matter most. The dream was so real and powerful that I woke up crying. In the dream she delivered her message with pieces of jewelry to help explain her meaning to me. Her definition of love was unlike anything I had ever heard before. I have since come to realize that love has always been defined to me from a man’s point of view. Whether it is Noah Webster, or the men from Hallmark, or even that doctor guy from E-Harmony.com, love has never had a woman’s voice…Until now.
Over the past year and a half we have met with IP attorneys, fine jewelry buyers, branding specialists, on air personalities, and even top jewelry designers and manufacturers, all helping us to find the best way to present my Mom’s message to the world. I have had numerous offers to buy the jewelry and concept, but I do not believe my Mom came to me to make a quick dollar. I know that she wants me to share this gift with others to help them better celebrate what they have, and understand more clearly what is important in life.
So I convinced my husband to quit his job and we moved from NY to Florida to start a life where our family is the most important part of it. We have since created our company, Go-Love, LTD and hope to air on a major TV shopping network this fall.
Thank you for letting me tell you about what I am all about and please let me know if my story speaks to you.
All the best of EVERYTHING,
